Cape Town - Alvin Nathaniel Joiner, better known by his stage name Xzibit, is set to perform in Johannesburg.

The American rapper, actor and television host of MTV show Pimp my Ride which brought him mainstream success, will wow fans with just one performance in Johannesburg during the first week of December 2012. The venue and the exact date where the concert will be taking place, is yet to be confirmed.

Ticket prices for the concert will range between R250 and R750.

Before hosting Pimp My Ride, Xzibit achieved fame in the hip-hop scene as a rapper, debuting with his acclaimed At the Speed of Life and gathering chart success with his follow-up albums Restless, Man vs. Machine and Weapons of Mass Destruction.

Xzibit released his latest studio album on 9 October, which is titled Napalm.

He has also collaborated with some high-profile artists such as Eminem, Cypress Hill, Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, Dr Dre, Timbaland, Alice Cooper, The Game and 50 Cent.
